7/31: Saratoga (Day 3/Lake George/$35k C/O)
 

Second day of Spa session was again spent in 'survival' mode with clear cut opportunities difficult to identify and capitalize on... A few performers I was counting on were disappointing, but did stay in the hunt on the day with $46.20 'Best Value' MY LUCKY PENNEY coming through. Hope you did OK. Twilight card Friday upon us anchored by a great Lake George and impossible-looking P6 carryover...

Steve, the date should read 7/31 instead of 7/30. Thanks for your show, enthusiasm, and handicapping. Also, thanks for getting this info out so early. Your FB friend, Arthur.

Arthur.

Thx so much. Been fun start to the meet/broadcasts.


Note that it has been pouring rain and turf will be off for all except perhaps the Lake George and even that is threatened. Standing water everywhere. Scratches will be extensive. Kind of a mess here...

I'm sure Steve would have figured that out on his own.. Bud Light salutes you Mr. Internet Message Board Copy Editor.:D

SAR: off turf all but Lake George..

ALL off turf except the Lake George...

Main SEALED/SLOPPY...

Think they'll throw in the towel today? I've never seen this much rain.

its absolutely teeming out. I cant believe that the Lake George will stay on. But then again I thought that there was no chance on them being on the turf yesterday after the deluge on Wednesday night.

i am scared because that is saying alot for saratoga

Early scratches... Word from track super monitoring weather modules is that the rain will continue. Hopes for the opening for a good portion of the afternoon are fading.

Steve or anyone....
 

What time does Talk Horses show begin, with the 2:30 post? Thanks

1:15 based on schedule working back from 2:30 opener.

Thanks, best of luck today.

Thanks for the $230.50 tri in the 5th, Steve!:) :$:

How can you not get it done Dominquez... Another P4 up in Smoke.
